A.P.D. fictional characters.

Hmmm... I take that as a fact. I know they will take most of the good things about eva out. They simply have to and I understand. I mean, it's live action film we're talking about, not an animated movie, live-action means lots and lots of money invested, they can't take the chance of presenting mainstream public to unlikable characters. Most people would be disgusted at the idea of Shinji as a main character, let alone the rest of the broken cast. The plot of the series would need to be simplified to make it easier to follow and most of the graphic violence and the nudity would have to be take out too. Also it would need to have a happy ending, because people would not settle for none of Eva's endings. In fact, if there is a chance that eva would ever have a convetional ending, it would be if they made the live action movies. I don't expect Rebuild or the NGE manga (which still hasn't ended and it's supposed to have a different ending) to have a truly happy ###$ ending.

I don't know if I would like people to know more about AvPD. Being anonymous has it's advantages. Knowing humanity, I think it would do much more harm than it would do good. People don't bother having a deep understanding of things so they would just start creating sterotypes of avoidants and judge anybody who fits the mold by that. I think it would also attract a lot of negative attention to other avoidants or even unwanted positive attention.

For all the bitching people do these days about how easy it is to be diagnosed with depression and put on medication, I have no idea how I would go about getting on anti-depressants or anti-anxiety medication, which I'm convinced is my only hope of ever being normal and happy. I went to a few sessions with a psychologist who turned out to be an asshole and he never even brought up drugs, he just told me to stop caring what other people think. I know my thought processes are ###$ up, there's not really anything I can do to change that no matter how many times people tell me $#%^ like that...it's like telling an anorexic to go eat a damn sandwich!

Can you just make an appointment with a psychiatrist or do you need a referral from a psychologist?

I am long overdue for a physical so I'm hoping I can at least figure some of this stuff out with a gp...I just need to find a good one and I have no idea where to start looking.

The only one I think of is Claudia from the film Magnolia cause she stays in her apartment all day and then when a cop asks her on a date she's all excited. She goes on the date and acts really strangely and then at the end of the date she kiss's him and says she can never see him again. But at the end of the movie he shows up at her apartment and says something like he doesn't understand what happen and isn't going to give up on her that easily and she smiles at the camera.
